"Rural sounds exhilarate the spirits and restore the tone of languid nature," said Cowper,  or so I believe. But what with the cattle bellowing, the coyotes howling and the damned cockerels crowing all night, I'm not sure how the tone is meant to be restored.
  In other rural news, road kill is primarily armadillos and possums, the turtles are once again crossing the roads, and, along with gun racks, Rep. Akin's antiabortion views remain mainstream. You people on the coasts who are shocked—shocked!—apparently have no understanding of rural America.
